When the car started skidding backwards over the snowy road, we decided to get off. By the time we jumped on, we were very cold and just hoped the driver would manage to get us over Zheduo Pass.
We had seen some snow from a distance when we drove over Balang pass a few days before, and it certainly was cold for the time of year. When we woke up to a fresh white layer of snow on the hills just behind our pension that morning, we knew we would see more of it later that day, since we had to cross Zheduo mountain pass on our way to Kangding. In the beginning, we drove in valleys that had a heavy blanket of grey clouds over them, effectively blocking our view over the landscape, where we had hoped to see the majestic mountains we knew were right behind the clouds.
